Restrictions imposed after ferry wave complaint |  | | | 09 August 2008 | | Source: Thisisguernsey.com | Restrictions have been imposed on Condor Ferries fast craft after further complaints about wave problems at La Vallette Bathing Pools.
Year-round swimmer Deputy Janine Le Sauvage said she had been caught in `a raging inferno of waves' on Tuesday.
The latest incident happened between 9 and 10am when a Condor Ferries ferry was leaving St Peter Port for Jersey.
`When you are swimming in the middle of the pool, it is extremely frightening to have these huge waves coming towards you,' said Deputy Le Sauvage.
`If you panic and try to make your way towards the edge of the pool, the wave can throw you out and you'll land on the hard, unforgiving concrete.'
The deputy, who has been using the pools since 1995 and is a strong swimmer, raised her concerns with Public Services minister Bernard Flouquet, who spoke to the harbour authorities.
Officials have spoken to Condor Ferries and are awaiting a preliminary report on the incident.
